On the SKH LeGrandes I've seen (I also owned one), the original equipment was the old Sperzel tuners. That's what was supposed to be on mine. A lot of people replaced them with other tuners that don't have the locking pin because there is not really any substitute for them, the grease they used hardened and made them hard to impossible to turn, and they are very hard to fix. My LeGrande had Grovers on it, and without the pin, they turned until they hit something. As far as I know, these old style Sperzels are not available from Sperzel anymore. Maybe worth a call to them - however, I had zero luck doing that.

There are a bunch of threads discussing this:

Thanks Dave, still trying to find a fit. I think maybe Stewmac has got them if I can get correct measurements.

Hey. if you can find some, let us know. I'm sure there are a bunch of people here who would like to find a replacement for those old Sperzels.
